Mariah, Beyoncé, Ciara, & More Stand Up to Cancer
More than a dozen of the world’s most accomplished female recording artists—a cast that includes Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and Carrie Underwood—have joined together for “Just Stand Up,” an unprecedented charity single in support of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), a new initiative to raise philanthropic dollars for accelerating ground-breaking cancer research.
“Just Stand Up” was conceived by Antonio “L.A.” Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group, after a powerful and inspiring meeting with the women who organized the Stand Up To Cancer campaign. The song was produced by L.A. and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds—their first creative reunion on record in nearly two decades. “Just Stand Up” will be released to radio and will be available to purchase exclusively on the iTunes Store starting September 2nd.
“Just Stand Up” is all about the singers and the composers banding together behind SU2C’s mission: rallying the public around the goal of ending cancer’s reign as a leading cause of death. The all-star television performance premiere of the song will take place live on Friday, September 5th (8 p.m. EDT and PDT), when ABC, CBS, and NBC simultaneously devote one hour of commercial-free prime-time to this nationwide event. This will be the first simultaneous cross-network broadcast ever to raise funds for the fight against a disease.

Where is Alicia Keys? She would’ve been great on the song. Anyway, I don’t agree with some of the other artists, but I will support the project because it’s for a good cause..

Mmmm Jennifer Hudson should at least be on the list, and what in th world is Ciara there, she know has ass can’t sing. Anyway, i can’t wait for the project since most of the singers there are really great.
August 19th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Ashley, bitch, if she cant sing the why the fuck is she on the damn single? Please stop hatin and get ya thick azz head out ya azz!
August 21st, 2008 at 6:16 am
Yea yall really underestimate Ciara…obviously she\’s doin something right if she\’s on the track. And notice it said the song features 15 of the world\’s most accomplished female artists so obviously she\’s not there for no reason.
And if it was anyone who needed to be replaced, it would definitely have to be Ashanti, Miley Cyrus, or Keyshia Cole.
